UFC 164 salaries: Mir, Barnett, Benson lead payroll

Funny how heavyweights are always so overpaid.

or maybe lower weights are underpaid?

funny how Clay guida is paid 40k put blankets on Pettis ,Hioki ,terrible fight against Maynard ,get's knocked out by Mendes ,getting paid 40k Base(not even top 10 fw) and wasn't cut.
 
Don't see what all the crying and whining is about. Lowest guy on card made 8k. Not to shabby for 1 night of work

All pay issues aside it's not one nights work.

Could be an old contract for Guida, once upon a time he was actually an exciting fighter.
 
When you claim the UFC is "SWALLOWING BOXING" champions should get more than 100k per fight.

UFC pay is a joke.

UFC geeks condoning it are a joke.
Who gives a shit? Seriously, why would you wish for the wealthy to become even wealthier? What's in it for you...? It's almost like you wish for your best friend to win the lottery, but the funny thing is, he gets to keep all the money, and you don't get donkey shit. There's a joke for you.
 
But you forgot the backroom bonuses that are like 20x reported fighter pay bro. And you also forgot that sponsorship money that's another 20x on top bro.

but seriously he has bigger base pay than Showtime Pettis and Barao is interim champ makin 40/40 and defended already twice
 
lol I hope Pettis will get paid his next fight.
 
Lol, top MMA fighters get paid PEANUTS compared to the top boxers. For example most of the 140lbers in Boxing get paid at least $1mill per fight. Fury is getting

LOL. Their gate couldn't cover the salaries of their fighters?
 
So you think those figures are adequate ?

Pretty much adequate, yes - most sports people are stupidly overpaid - these salaries (given 3-4 wins per year) are perfectly 'adequate'.

If they weren't deemed to be, why would the parties sign the agreements?

Fighters at the bottom of the rung proving themselves are paid lower, same as I didn't start on $100k. prove your value consistently, renegotiate and get paid - same as everyone else in life.

The only thing worse than UFC fighter pay is the geeks on Sherdog who condone it. Rampage said it best when the UFC wants to lowball fighters they keep PPV sales private and tell the fighters they didnt sell enough PPVs. When the UFC wants to pretend theyre swallowing boxing they claim to sell a million PPVs. I doubt the UFC has sold more than 100k PPVs in the last 2 years. Paying fighters peanuts and a Ford F-150 pick up truck as backroom bonus is usually enough these days. LMAO. What a joke.

Im assuming this is a troll job? Cause this is the most ridiculous post ive ever seen on Sherdog.
 
Funny how Gleison Tibau still makes shit regardless of how many fights he's had with the company. And due to his style I doubt he gets many "locker room bonuses". Is he even liked by Brazilians?
 
Wow the HW division is shit. Not to open wounds here, but Okami was cut in large part due to his salary, which wasnt it a base pay of like 45k or something like that? Then Vera of all people has 70k as his base salary....wtf? When the hell did he get this contract? He's looked like shit in the cage for like 5 years or more.

He makes a lot more money than he's worth. The guy has been in the promotion forever and doesn't have any top wins and deservedly so has never gotten an otn bonus. If anything he's making a killing off the ufc for being a gate keeper for almost a decade.
